Fireworks Are Coming – Is Your Pet Ready?
Fireworks can be frightening for many pets. If your dog or cat struggles with loud noises, now’s the time to get prepared – don’t wait until the night of!
If you think your pet may need calming medication, please contact us as soon as possible to discuss options.
Here are a few things you can do at home to help:
- Create a quiet, safe space indoors
- Close windows and curtains to muffle noise and block flashes
- Play calming music
- Stay calm and act normally – your pet will take cues from you
- Make sure your pet’s microchip details are up to date in case they panic and run
If you need advice or support – we’re here to help!
Meet a member of the Eden Vets team:
Kerry Brooks – Client Care Team – Reception
We would like to introduce the newest member of our reception team Kerry.
Kerry has 4 years of veterinary experience as a receptionist which started at a vet practice in Nantwich and has since joined the Eden team in August this year.
When not in work, she enjoys watching scary films whilst cuddled up with her cat Taz, who was found at 5 weeks old and in need of a home.
She has fitted in perfectly to our ever-growing team and is doing a great job. Be sure to say hello next time you pop in.

Eden Vets Star Patient of the Month…this month is Poppy
Our star patient this month is the lovely Poppy who came to see us for further treatment after she was diagnosed with a vaginal prolapse. Poppy had been in season and whilst her vulval tissue was swollen and relaxed this internal tissue had prolapsed. She was initially treated by another vets, having the tissue replaced and a stitch holding everything in, but sadly when the stitch removed the tissue also came back out.
Vet Gemma Ford saw Poppy and wanted to give her more time to allow her season to pass before spaying, since there is increased risk with this procedure if the blood vessels supplying the ovaries are enlarged. Symptomatic treatment was started but sadly poor Poppy was very uncomfortable and returned to see Vet Ginnie within a week.
On performing a pelvic exam Ginnie was able to feel that instead of a true prolapse (where the full 360° tissue protrudes like a tunnel), Poppy had a mass emerging from her vaginal wall and hanging outside her body on a long stalk. Given her discomfort, and the high likelihood that hormones from Poppy’s ovaries were influencing her vaginal tissue, we decided to spay Poppy and remove the mass.
Poppy underwent surgery for ovariohysterectomy and surgical removal of the firm mass, which was sent for histopathology for a diagnosis. The result was a Fibroleiomyoma – a mass growing from the smooth muscle of the vaginal wall, usually benign (doesn’t spread elsewhere) and hormone dependent. We hope that removal of Poppy’s ovaries will prevent regrowth and new masses developing but will continue to monitor her.
Poppy has recovered very well after both surgeries, with a rapid return to her usual energy levels and comfort. Well done, Poppy!
